Javery, I am so glad you posted on your progress. This Forum has been very quiet and I have missed watching how people are doing. You have definitely made massive improvements in a year. I am envious...
Hayley, I am sure you are sad at the prospect of losing your job but the healing of your body is first and foremost priority at present. Maybe when you are completely healed you will find something...
Javery, Thank you it is reassuring to know that the symptoms will eventually go away with attention paid to the correct food. I feel sure my problem this last couple of days was the topping of...
Yes, it is very hard to not have foods that everyone else is eating. I get very disheartened some times and wonder if I will ever stop feeling miserable and be normal. For the last 2 days I have had...
Hi everyone, Hayley how are you doing? I hope you are not going crazy being immobile. Javery, you seem to have been doing very well and now seem to be medicine free. Give yourself a big pat on the...
Hello all, Mouche I think you are very brave and uplifting. You have a great attitude and being positive will get you through. I think you are doing the right thing by staying on the amount of PPi...
Angelcat, You can get alkaline drops from amazon and add them to regular water. I can't say I found that they helped much but along with Gerd I was dealing with stomach inflammation as well. I think...
Angelcat, you are not alone with the throat thing. If it is any consolation I am in the same boat. I also feel right now like there is mucus in my throat. It is still sore and I feel today like there...
Hello all, I have had the throat clearing thing all week this week and it feels kind of sore. One of the days I had the feeling like something was stuck in my throat. I haven't had that feeling for a...
Hayley, As the old saying goes 'Time heals all wounds'. You know you will eventually get better so don't look at the big picture. As you say take one day at a time and know that once the surgery is...
Hi all, Yes of course Haley I will keep you in my thoughts on the 7th July when you have your surgery. I think of you and everyone else all the time. Did you go for the 2nd opinion? Are you any...
Hi Pazshalom, Sorry you have the 'symptoms' again now you are back home. I hope you soon feel better. I don't seem to have any problems getting into this site. Thank you, yes I must say I have been...
I found a long time ago that I had a hard time with meat. I do eat it on occasion but not very often. I do make a lot of vegetarian foods for myself. If you look in the store freezers there are some...
Hi Javery, It is good to know you are doing well and have managed without any help (Pepcid) lately. It gives me encouragement to know how well you are doing without a PPI. Can I ask how long it took...
Hi Javery, I have just read your message. I think there are no right and wrong things to do. I do believe there are so many variables with the digestive tract that nobody really knows. Even doctors...
I also wish I could juice and keep it for throughout the day. I wonder if it was frozen it would keep the nutrients in it. I have always been a breakfast eater but some days after a couple of glasses...
Hi all, Hayley I also was not sure whether I wanted to get the nutria-bullet or a juicer. I looked for quite a long time at both and weighed up the pro's and cons' I also took into account what...
Hello Everyone. I am finally getting my life back a bit at a time. Since February going through all the misery it was rendered just about unlivable. I haven't had any nausea in a couple of week now,...
Hi Everyone, Hayley sorry you are not well with this new upper respiratory problem. I think your immune system must be all out of wack. I hope you feel much better soon and can enjoy your vacation....
Hi Javery, did you start another thread. I haven't had any notifications that there are new messages anywhere. I don't know how to do it do you?...
Hello everyone, I hope you all have a symptom free week-end. Mouche, I am so sorry you have more stress to add to your already stressful life at the moment. I hope the doctors visit goes well and you...
Hi everyone, Hayley and angelcat I am sorry you have this burning issue which is very strange. Hayley I know you have been through all kinds of testing which so far hasn't shown anything yet to be...
Thanks Javery, I will try the chestnuts again and see if the same thing happens. I was so happy it had gone away as it is a stressful symptom. you also have a great week-end...
javery I have a question for you. I haven't had that 'something stuck in the throat' feeling for a couple of weeks now. However, this afternoon I ate a couple of chestnuts and now it is back. Any...
Thank you for that information Javery. I am certainly going to look into this. For the time being I am not going to be changing much about my diet until after I have had a consultation with the...
Hi Eveyrone. I haven't posted for a couple of days although I have read all the posts. I still have a bad day every now and again which is hard to deal with. Still waiting for the doctors office to...
Hello all, I have been out of action for a couple of days due to the endoscopy and colonoscopy. Not a lot of news on that front the only thing I got was 'some stomach inflammation, no ulcers and...
Thank Pazshalom and Hayley, I am exhausted! It is 11pm and I want to go to bed but still having a bit of a dash.......if you know what I mean. Can't wait for it all to be over....
Hi Hayley, I was glad to read you had a decent day yesterday and got to ride your bike. It does feel good doesn't it to feel almost 'Normal' and do 'normal' things. I hope your doctor can shed some...
Hi everyone, I haven't been on the computer at all today so I have just been reading everyone's posts. Joogle, I know on the Kefir it says drink 8ozs at one time but I have not done that but started...
Hi everybody, I hope this is a good day for all. I must add to the complaint of not sleeping well. I have always slept pretty well up until the last couple of months. I am always busy and enjoy going...
Javery, I have a pork tenderloin and would like to know how to cook it to make the medallions if you would share your recipe with me please. Do you think eating less protein and more veggies and...
Hi guys, Yes angelcat you listed a whole lot of things that affect me too. I am my own worst enemy. I talk myself into being so scared and nervous all the time when I really shouldn't but I don't...
Hi everyone, I have been out all day today and thankfully I have felt well enough to do that. Javery you have been very busy with your research and what you say really makes sense. I do think we have...
Javery what happens when you eat some things that disagree with you. Heartburn? Pain in the chest? I have had several good days all in a row when I think I am back to normal and resume my life. All...
Mouche yes my end result I hope is to be off this stuff too. Even on the 20mgs I still get some acid break through (throat burning) but although I have had some awful days I so far have not resorted...
Hi Mouche, thinking of you for tomorrow and hoping all will be well. yes, you are entitled to feel some anxiety but it will be over soon then you can concentrate on getting off the PPI. I found...
Hi everyone, I am so sorry Angelcat and Hayley for your extra problems not related to your health. Stress and anxiety are very difficult to live with and to control. I can tell you that first hand as...
Hi everyone and thanks so much for the good wishes. yes, thankfully a few decent days for me so I have been pretty busy. I get down and depressed and don't want to do much when I feel nauseous and...
Hi Hayley, I am glad there is nothing wrong with you but like you say have a rest of it for a while now. Please continue to post on here along the way. We need to hear success stories. I am sure you...
Hayley, You must be really proud of yourself for finishing the test. Isn't it always the way when you want something to happen at a crucial time and it doesn't. So very annoying. I am sure you are...
Hi pazshalom, Thank you for asking. Yes I have had a few good days in a row but I don't get too confident. Last Sunday and Monday were not good days but as I go along I seem to have more good than...
Hello Everyone, Mouche how are you feeling, better than the other day? I am sorry your 'procedure' has been delayed. that will cause you more stress than needed. Javery, Glad you are back down on...
Hi Mouche, I hope you are feeling better today and have a better night tonight. This reflux thing is awful with so many different symptoms for everyone. Sometimes it is so hard to try to figure out...
Hayley thank so much for the info regarding beans. I was going to open a can of black beans but now I will get some dried and cook them myself. I am the only one that will eat them my husband won't...
After reading it has taken you around 8 months then I don't feel so desperate. I will continue going slowly and hope I can manage it. Some people seem to have no problems getting off the PPI's but I...
I think you have done remarkably well to get to the stage where you are now and I envy you your determination and the changes you have made. I too ate what I wanted while taking the nexium and...
Hi Javery, Thanks so much for trying to help out with this nausea problem I have. I have tried and tried to figure it out myself but so far can't find any sort of connection. I don't have it all the...
Javery, I will look forward to reading more on your blog. Food is a big issue with me. First of all, what to eat and will I be Ok after eating it as this nausea thing is awful. I have just been...
Good morning everyone! Javery thank you for going to the trouble of sending me the link directly to your blog. I have read it and have found it very informative and helpful. I also went to the...
